Custom item attributes

[scenic aurora]

Hi

[tiny whale]

hi

so if you want to do luck damage strength or even speed

i think a custom variable for each player is better

on items i think nbt tags is the best way to store data

im not sure about that tho bc i havent looked it alot yet

[scenic aurora]

The problem with NBT tags is I would end up having to have one for every stat on an item

and I can't store the operation

[tiny whale]

(walking speed i think)

wait

if u mean that u have many tags i think you could store everything in 1 tag

still not sure

[scenic aurora]

I need to store an operation and a value like the vanilla attribute system since I might want to do +15 health, +25% health or 2x health

[tiny whale]

i think if you could make a custom itemstack or sth and put the values there it would be better

[scenic aurora]

would that require using nms?

[tiny whale]

depends on how proffesional and good you want it to be

you can do either vanilla variables or nbt tags

and there are apis for nbt tags

so ig u can use them

[scenic aurora]

I was trying to make a custom PDC data type

[tiny whale]

i think you need to edit the bukkit code for it tho bc from what i know you cant extend a class to itemstack

[cloud saddle]

wait why wouldnt this work?

[tiny whale]

wdym by pdf

[cloud saddle]

you can store them instead of health as healthMultiplier or such and you can calculate them at the end

after you calculated the other values that are just numbers

[scenic aurora]

ohh

ok

[cloud saddle]

for example you loop through the inventory and calculate the total damage number the player will deal then gather all damageMultiplier, add them and do damage * damageMultiplier

[scenic aurora]

Yeah

I guess I'll just have to do that and give up using a single nbt tag

[tiny whale]

also xpdz do you know if theres any way to put variables on an item without nbt tags

[scenic aurora]

by nbt tag I mean PDC

[scenic aurora]

alright thanks XD I didn't think of that

[cloud saddle]

the best I can think of is an NBT tag that just holds an UUID and you create an item manager class to map the UUID to actual stats but apart from that I'm not aware of any sorry

[tiny whale]

wait itemstacks have uuids?

also i found this @scenic aurora https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

idk exactly what it is i may go check itater

later

[cloud saddle]

No lol I was saying you could give them a UUID through NBT

if im not mistaken Hypixel Skyblock also gives items UUIDs

[scenic aurora]

Yeah this is what I was talking about but I never considered using the key to store more information

[tiny whale]

ohh

but then they cant be stacked

[cloud saddle]

That's a good point

[scenic aurora]

Hmm. I probably wouldn't be stacking items that give you stat modifiers anyway so that might work
